Martial, Pogba ruled out of key France Nations match

Manchester United pair Anthony Martial and Paul Pogba will miss France’s key Nations League fixture against the Netherlands and a Uruguay friendly through injury, the French Football Federation announced on Monday.

Both players arrived in Paris for assessment but were deemed unfit to feature for Didier Deschamps’ side who would qualify for the Nations League finals by beating the Dutch.

Forward Martial who is in fine form for his club scoring six goals in his last five Premier League, is suffering from a groin injury.

World champion midfielder Pogba who missed the Red Devils’ derby defeat to Manchester City on Sunday through injury has a thigh problem.
